EPIC MEGA NEWS UPDATE... Read all about it...



Mhm... Yup! Here's an epic mega news update!!

I've been so damn busy with everything... You know how it goes... Haven't been able to manage any time for this fine Plog of mine!! So things I need to blog keep piling up and piling up... One fine day, I'll manage to be back on a more regular blogging schedule... One fine day!! I got so much cool shit coming up!! Until then, here's a news update of a bunch of stuff you might be interested in!!

TATTOOS
-TATTOOS IN HONG KONG


I am absolutely still tattooing in Hong Kong and have added a bunch of extra available tattoo days in the coming month to catch up for the last few months! So if you're one of these interested people... Get in touch with me!!

Also, as soon as I get back to Hong Kong after my next Euro trip (eta: end of February/early March) I plan on raising my hourly prices! Yup! See the thing is there is just not enough consistent work for me here in HK and I just keep getting quicker and quicker and well... It's time to update (been 4 years since I last updated my prices)! So this will only affect all new pieces started after I get back in March! I'm not quite sure what the new hourly price will be just yet (1800 to 2000 HKD/hour) but I will let you know in detail how it all works soon! Just wanted to give everyone a head's up!

My prices in other countries shouldn't be affected!

Ask away.... pick@electricpick.com


-SOUTH AFRICAN TATTOO TRIP

Because of the very little interest (read, zero interest) I've received from my next Cape Town tattoo trip, I've decided to cut my loses and drop doing the convention! So yeah... I'm not doing the show!! Too broke to burn dough right now! But I will still be going and will still have a few available spots for tattooing in Cape Town at a guest spot following the show instead! So if anyone out there wants something from me while I'm there... I'll most probably be able to hook them up! If not, then I'll be at the Dubliner on Long street killing 27 rand pints of Castle Milk Stout for a week!!!

Word

-EURO TATTOO TRIP

Added a few more dates for Berlin! The thing is I keep adding days for people who write to me about it but then figured it wasn't fair for those of you who follow the rules! So I'm making it official to everyone now... If you wanna come down to Berlin at the end of February for some tat action... I added a few days worth!

Let me know... pick@electricpick.com



RED BOX
-DISTRIBUTION


Hell yeah!!! The Clandestine Republic distribution network is growing!! Now it might not look like much right now but we're pretty new so... I think it's starting to look good! Our first objective was to, apart from Hong Kong, have at least a few boxes in the US and Europe before Christmas!! We're constantly expanding it too so keep an eye out for new spots that we will do our best to list on the web-site as regularly as possible!!

Have a look!


-SHIPPING/ORDERS

Although your Red Boxes ordered since this last week will most probably not make it on time for Christmas, we're still shipping Red Boxes almost every day everywhere!! To all of you who have ordered the Red Box, thanks so much for the support! I'm sure now that you can hold it in your hands that you can see how epic of a project that was to make and I hope you love your Red Boxes as much as I loved making them!!!

To all of you who are thinking of getting one... I promise your Red Box will bring you eternal happiness... Yeah you bet!!
